Officials: Soviet leader tookgfl:
MOSCOW (AP) — Leonid I.
Brezhnev’s friend and law enforce
ment chief, Nikolai A. Shchelokov,
accepted lavish gifts and huge
bribes, then killed himself when his
deeds were discovered, the govern
ment charged Tuesday.
The allegations about the former
Interior Minister, who died in dis
grace in 1984, came on the second
day of the bribery-corruption trial of
Yuri M. Churbanov, Brezhnev’s son-
in-law. Churbanov served as Shche-
lokov’s top deputy.
The charges included the First of
ficial confirmation of rumors that
the 73-year-old Shchelokov com
mitted suicide when he felt the law
closing in.
Churbanov and eight former In- 1
terior Ministry officials from the
Central Asian republic of Uzbekis
tan are on trial before a Soviet Su
preme Court military tribunal.
Their highly publicized trial is being
used to further leader Mikhail S.
Gorbachev’s drive against corrup
tion and cronyism.
A 1,500-page indictment against
the accused charges Churbanov with
accepting the equivalent of $1 mil
lion in bribes, and its passages about
Shchelokov, read aloud by a clerk to
a full and silent courtroom, gave the
most detailed account yet of corrup
tion in the tops ranks of the Brezh
nev regime.
Recent newspaper reports have
said Shchelokov, the Interior Min
istry chief for 16 years, lined his
pockets with 700,000 rubles ($1.1
million) in state funds and lived an
extravagant lifestyle, giving foreign
luxury cars to his children and buy
ing furs and crystal chandeliers for
himself and his family.
Six times a year, food shipments
from Uzbekistan arrived at a Mos
cow airport and were taken to Sh
chelekov’s country home outside the
capital, the indictment said. The
shipments contained cognac, toma
toes, melons, apricots and other
fruits and vegetables unobtainable in
Moscow most of the year.

GOP official: TV ad
touts phony issue
AUSTIN (AP) — The Dukakis-
Bentsen campaign Tuesday pre
viewed a television ad touting the
Democrats’ efforts to win a plant
closing notification law, but a top
GOP presidential campaign strateg
ist called that a phony issue.
Tom Cosgrove, state campaign di
rector for the presidential ticket of
Michael Dukakis and Lloyd Bentsen
said, “We believe with this, we’re
going to bring the debate back to
where it belongs — on the issues.
This is going to be a campaign based
on facts — not innuendo, rumors
and lies and distortions as we’ve seen
across Texas over the last couple of
weeks.”
Cosgrove said the Democrats’
commercial reflects an emphasis on
“the future of the economy in this
country.”
“So you don’t even have a clear-
cut difference on that issue,” Black
said.
Bush encouraged Reagan to allow
the bill to become law, he added.
Black said the Bush campaign, in
its upcoming television ads, will fo
cus on the economy, defense and the
so-called “values issues,” including
school prayer, saying the Pledge of
Allegiance in schools, the death pen
alty and furloughs for prisoners.
He said the timing of the ads
hasn’t been decided.
The commercial — which starts
airing Wednesday in Dallas, Hous
ton and San Antonio — notes that
Senate bill sponsor Bentsen “won
the fight” for a law requiring 60
days’ notice of a plant closing.
Massachusetts Gov. Dukakis
pushed one of the first such laws in
the country.
A “fact sheet” handed out at the
screening said GOP vice presidential
nominee Dan Quayle had opposed
the plant closing notification bill.
President Reagan first vetoed a
trade bill that contained the mea
sure, then allowed a separate bill to
become law without his signature.
The Democrats said Vice Presi
dent George Bush also opposed the
legislation.
Flood waters
recede, but
problems rise
RAJBARI, Bangladesh (AP) —
The nation’s three mightiest rivers
began receding Tuesday but the
most urgent problem grew: how to
provide food, shelter and clean wa
ter to at least 21 million homeless
people and prevent an epidemic.
“This is the worst flood in the his
tory of Bangladesh,” President Hus
sain Mohammed Ershad said to
about 300 men, women and children
huddled in front of him on a narrow
embankment surrounded by brown
water.
Charlie Black, a senior adviser to
the national GOP presidential cam
paign and “Texas-specific” consul
tant, said plant-closing law is “a
phony issue.”
“Plant closing is a way of them
continuing to duck the issues, be
cause they haven’t presented any
thing about the economy that would
give people any hope that they could
improve on the Reagan perfor
mance or the future Bush perfor
mance,” Black said.
A soldier doled out scoops of un
cooked rice and Ershad told the peo
ple more food would be found.
Floods have submerged three-
fourths of the country in the past 10
days and 12 smaller rivers were re
ported still rising Tuesday, although
the Ganges, Brahmaputra and
Meghna receded. The flooding be
gan in June with the monsoon sea
son, then abated and resumed last
month.
The Republicans and Democrats
do not really differ much on the
plant-closing issue, said Black, who
was in Austin to meet with the steer
ing committee of the Bush Texas
campaign.
“The administration originally
opposed the plant closing amend
ment when it was within the context
of the trade bill, but when a clean bill
was presented, the president let it go
into law, and the vice president went
along with that.
At least 412 people have been
killed since June, according to gov
ernment figures, but that number is
considered too low. Daily death re
ports in Dhaka newspapers, includ
ing 32 people who drowned when a
ferry sank in the Pabna district 75
miles west of the capital, put the total
at 1,154.
Illness from flood-polluted water
is increasing. The government
health control center reported
10,000 new cases of diarrhea Tues
day, bringing the total to 102,000,
and said 79 people had died of it.
of money were left on Shchelokov’s
desk. One of the nine defendants,
former Uzbek Interior Minister
Khaidar Yakhyaev, was quoted in
the indictment as acknowledging
that he gave his Moscow-based supe
rior boss 105,000 rubles ($170,000),
and neckties, gold jewelry, precious
stones and other valuables.
